Scott Kosch sits at an unusual intersection of investing, AI, and education. He co-founded NextAccess, an AI business transformation consultancy, and is Managing Partner at Kosch Capital, where he has invested in over 100 early-stage technology companies. With over 25 years of professional experience, he's seen what makes people indispensable inside high-performing companies, and now he's watching AI rewrite the rules in real time. He wrote Indispensable: A Student's Guide for Thriving in the Age of AI for students because they’re the ones with the most at stake and the least guidance. Scott also co-authors the Capital Intelligence newsletter on LinkedIn, advising private equity and venture capital partners and their portfolio CEOs on AI value creation. He serves as Board Chair of the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, where he champions the case that great humanists make great AI-era professionals, and as Board Member of the Randall Lewis Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Claremont McKenna College. Scott holds an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a BA in Economics and Psychology from Claremont McKenna College. He lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife and has two kids in college.
